I wanted to share with you all this fresh fun fashion outfit, which I recently wore on a dinner date to Meat Mothers in Richmond, Melbourne.

The main focus of this outfit, were my Poke White heels from Lipstick shoes. I have wanted these shoes for a while and recently decided to invest in them. They are very versatile and can be worn with jeans, shorts, shirts and dresses.

This outfit is perfect for any sort of outing whether it be dinner, drinks or hanging with some girlfriends. The look is fun, fresh and classy, having the white against the light denim is clean and crisp. It has a feminine edge with a slight rocker vibe.

I paired my cute heels from Lipstick shoes, with my favourite light denim boyfriend jeans from Dotti, which I have been obsessed with and my gorgeous dressy white top from Zara. Each item I was wearing was not more than $79.95, this is proof that you can look great and on trend without spending large amounts of money.

My inspiration for this outfit, was my shirt from Tobi, an online store which has great, unique clothes at an affordable price.

When I walked into work on casual friday, which I commonly call fashion friday, my colleagues coined the term, farm chic and farm glamping! I do have to say, I definitely did feel like I had an edgy farm vibe!!

I paired my cute blue and grey flannel top, with my favourite light denim boyfriend jeans from Dotti, which just have the right amount of style rips and my new Pronto Black heels from Lipstick shoes. These shoes are a dupe for a similar pair that were in Zara, which unfortunately Melbourne Zara never got.

For makeup I went with warm neutral tones and used one of my favourite nude toned lipsticks from Mac called, Honey Love. My hair was straight but I added some volume with big sexyhair, play and spray and I really feel that my ombre (balayage/dip dye) hair was perfect with this look. Overall, I really loved this outfit, it was edgy but still feminine at the same time, as well as being on point with current styles that are popular at the moment.

It has been a while since I last posted my Fashion Friday outfit posts, the fashion has still been happening on Friday’s, but things have been crazy busy!

So after work last week, my husband and I went for a walk to an alley way off Bourke StreetMelbourne, to take this photo. We thought that this was the perfect location considering the outfit that I was wearing. After that we went straight home for pasta and for some much needed rest.

I decided to wear my leather pants from Portmans, I have had them for a while but needed some courage to wear them to work. The reception was great, people loved the look and it generated some office buzz on a Friday! I paired my leather pansts, with a gorgoues deep red knit from Zara and some amazing black suede ankle boots from Sportsgirl.

For my makeup, I used some new exciting products and opted for a statement lip. I wore my Mac Studio Fix fluid foundation, setting it with my Mac Studio Fix powder. I used Mac peaches blush and NARS albatross highlighter to emphasis the top of my checks and brows. I used Maybelline Lasting Drama gel eyeliner and created a winged cat eye and finished the look off my NARS lip pencil in Damned. I loved my makeup that day, it was simple but worked so well with the outfit and I felt dramatic without having a whole lot of makeup on.

The look was so fun and in trend, the different textures paired together with the colour combination worked so well. I loved wearing my leather pants with a knit jumper, pairing the two with ankle boots really gave it that edge.

Try pairing different textures and colours for this Autumn and Winter.

For all my green eyed beauties, here are my top 3 tips to having captivating green eyes!

1. Play with purples – Bring out your gorgeous green eyes with makeup that is red-based. To widen the look of close-set eyes, apply shades of deep plum eye shadow toward the outer edges and a lighter shader of purple toward the inner eye. If your eyelids are a little droopy, do the opposite. Avoid purples with blue undertones, as well as blue eye shadow and eyeliner. Dark green, lavender, purple, plum or lilac tones work best for green eyed ladies. Gold and copper are great for highlighting green eyes. A general rule of thumb for green eyes is to choose warm shades vs. cooler shades.

2. Avoid silver – If you want to experiment with metallics, avoid silver shades on the eyes. However, bronze, copper and gold looks absolutely fabulous with green eyes for the evening. Brown or dark green eyeshadow with flecks of gold are also terrific choices.

3. Skip the black eyeliner – Everyone loves black eyeliner but it isn’t the best choice for green-eyed beauties. Use chocolate brown liner for everyday. To spice things up, try grey or gold. To open up your eyes and make them pop, add a little white eyeliner to the inner corner near the tear duct.

Follow these tips and you will be the envy of all friends. I hope this helps and inspires you to try different shades and techniques.

I thought I would share with you a recent look I put together while filming my recent makeup tutorial. This look uses two very different styles, but somehow when put together they are a match made in heaven! The look is something in between a floral girlie style with a grunge edge.

The top is gorgeous and is from H&M, it is floral and has black panels on the sides and around the collar. Another beautiful feature of this top is the back, it has buttons all the way down, this adds to the feminine style of it. I decided to make this look more edgy and paired the top with my Portmans leather skinny pants and my Tony Bianco patent black heels.

I went simple with the accessories and wore a silver cuff from Lovisa, a grogoues silver and turquoise ring my sister got for me from Venice Beach LA and my Tiffany and Co silver ball earrings.

The makeup also made this look more bold and edgy, with the dark lipstick NARS Damned lip pencil and the cool browns and greys on my eyes. I used the Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette and the Too faced Naked Eye Palette. I finished off the look with Mac Cosmetics blush in peaches and highlighted my face with Mac’s Soft and Gentle highlighting powder.

I was so excited about this look and I will definitely wear this on a night out.

I loved this look, the combination of naughty and nice worked so well together, opposites do attract! I hope this inspires you to place different styles together and create a standout look for any occasion.

I recently went to a wedding and wanted to show you all my look that I was rocking.

I went hell for leather with this chic edgy look!

The dress is so on trend and was such great value. I bought it on sale from Target, can you believe! I added black strappy shoes from Novo and went for gold accessories. My matching necklace and earrings were from Colette and added some contrast and bling to the outfit.

I went all out with my makeup and wanted to pop and create drama. I used Chanel Perfection Lumiere foundation, paired with Mac Studio Fix powder to set the foundation. I used Mac Gleeful mineralise blush and Fix+ to set my makeup and to give me a dewy look. For my eyes, I used Urban Decay Naked 2 palette and used gold, brown and black colours all blended out. I added a black winged liner and used Benefit they’re real mascara. For the final addition to this look and the one that I was most excited about, I put Mac Ruby Woo lipstick on my lips.

The colour combination of the red lipstick, gold accessories and the black leather dress really worked together. I loved this look and will definitely wear it again.

I hope you enjoyed this outfit post and remember stay sweet xox
